NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Arch Manning, QB, Texas

I imagine there’s a chance the Giants eschew quarterbacks once again in the 2025 NFL Draft so they can use this pick on the quarterback they really want.

The grandson of Archie Manning and the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, Arch Manning has been a highly coveted prospect for quite some time and is the favorite to be chosen first overall whenever he declares.

NFL Team Logo for Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama Image for ALA

The Seahawks likely have to start over again in the near future. Here’s a new quarterback to replace Geno Smith.

Jalen Milroe is a dangerous runner who has a solid arm. He needs to improve his ability to read coverages.

NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami Image for MIA

Denver’s defense has suffered some major regression because a number of talented players have departed in recent years. They need a lot, including edge-rushing help.

Rueben Bain was very productive as a freshman and has a ton of upside.

NFL Team Logo for Patriots New England Patriots: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami Image for MIA

New England’s offensive line is in rough shape. Lots of help is needed to protect Drake Maye.

Francis Mauigoa has immense upside as a potential left tackle in the NFL.

NFL Team Logo for Commanders Washington Commanders: Elijah Pritchett, OT, Alabama Image for ALA

The Redskins need to do something about their left tackle situation. Cornelius Lucas cannot be allowed to protect Jayden Daniels’ blind side.

Elijah Pritchett is an athletic tackle with major upside.

NFL Team Logo for Cardinals Arizona Cardinals: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State Image for OSU

The Cardinals have a horrible defense that is in desperate need of some play-makers.

Caleb Downs projects as one of the top play-making safeties in the NFL in several years.

NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama Image for ALA

Taylor Moton will be an impending free agent a month prior to the 2026 NFL Draft.

Kayden Proctor is a colossal, 360-pound blocker. He has great potential, but has some character concerns.

NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Nyckoles Harbor, WR, South Carolina Image for

DeAndre Hopkins is old, while Calvin Ridley is not very trustworthy.

Nyckoles Harbor is a massive 6-foot-5 receiver with loads of potential.

NFL Team Logo for Saints New Orleans Saints: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina Image for

The Saints may give up on Derek Carr by this point.

LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.

NFL Team Logo for Vikings Minnesota Vikings: Damari Brown, CB, Miami Image for MIA

The Vikings are really hurting at cornerback, so that position must be addressed soon.

Damari Brown is a tall (6-foot-2) cornerback with huge upside.

NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Fadil Diggs, DE, Syracuse Image for SYR

Tampa’s pass rush has declined in recent years, so upgrades will be needed on the edge.

Fadil Diggs was somewhat productive at Texas A&M. He has lots of upside going to Syracuse.

NFL Team Logo for Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M Image for TA&M

The Chargers have a very weak defensive line that must be addressed with multiple upgrades.

Shemar Turner has lots of potential. He projects best as a five-technique.

NFL Team Logo for Bears Chicago Bears: Jimari Butler, DE/OLB, Nebraska Image for NU

Chicago doesn’t have much going on with its edge rush outside of Montez Sweat.

Jimari Butler was a productive edge rusher to begin his collegiate career, but he needs to bulk up.

NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Anthony Evans III, WR, Georgia Image for UGA

George Pickens is Pittsburgh’s only viable receiver, so that must change.

Anthony Evans has flashed some potential. He’s seen as having good potential.

NFL Team Logo for Colts Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas Image for Tex

The Colts haven’t properly replaced Shaq Leonard, so they’ll have to do that in the near future.

Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career.

NFL Team Logo for Raiders Las Vegas Raiders: Jackson Arnold, QB, Oklahoma Image for OU

The Raiders were strongly considering Michael Penix Jr., so here’s their new quarterback.

Jackson Arnold is a dynamic talent, but his 6-foot-1 height could hurt him a bit.
